I don't call spreading your legs to have multiple welfare kids by multiple fathers DISABLED!
The protesters chanted and marched — some of the disabled in wheelchairs, others rolling oxygen tanks — on a normally quiet block Thursday in west suburban Oak Park.
“Hey, hey! Ho, ho! Source of income discrimination has got to go!,” they chanted.
They were picketing the offices of property management firm Oak Park Apartments, and its policy of not renting to Section 8 tenants — typically the low-income or disabled.
This landlord, the housing activists charged, was an example of why an amendment to the Cook County Human Rights Ordinance was needed. The ordinance, which prohibits discrimination against source of income, exempts Section 8 from such protection.
“They’ve dismantled public housing for thousands and thousands of people, and the enhanced vouchers they’re giving people, suburban areas and counties won’t accept,” said Terence Simms of the Metropolitan Tenants Organization.
